   As a recent Mill's Messer I feel justified in commenting here as well.  Less
   than a year after I learned to juggle at all - I'm not sure which was the
   greater accomplishment.  probable juggling.  but anyway...
   I've been having problems doing this with clubs too.  I can get anywhere from
   three throws to three interations before everything collides, flies in four
   different directions (with only three clubs! ;> ), and hits me on the head, all
   concurrently and consecutively.

   Any suggestions?  Do people use doubles, singles (what I've been using thus
   far), etc?

I do it with singles. The only advice I can give is to keep the
pattern wide and make the outside throws (under arm) go straight up
(at least while you're learning). Because clubs are so much more
likely to collide you have to be in better control of where they are
going, IMHO this is easier if they are just going straight.
